That's the same that comes to my mind.

While I can see that this is a case for a new preference setting type, 
adding a completely new mechanism really seems "over engineered" - 
unless there's a real good reason to do so.

Another drawback of your solution is to explain things to users - some 
settings can be set through the GUI, some other can be set through a 
file in, some can be ... - that doesn't sound very clean to me.
